Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 tablespoon salsa
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
Combine refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a tortilla and smooth into a thin layer. Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining bean mixture, tortillas, and cheese.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a few burritos, seam-side down, into the skillet. Cook, turning every 30 seconds, until golden and crispy on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining burritos.
Cook’s Note:
You can use Cheddar cheese if you’d like.
